Whip Basics. The Forum

Just an update on Jyri's raffle prize. I've had to repackage it all because I'd made the box slightly too big for the 'Small parcel' price :/

I'll have it in the post by the weekend.

Just for information: the stockwhip I donated to the Dog Shelter raffle was won by Joachim and Inga Kraus, friends of Nadine. I've had a nice note from Inga saying the whip has arrived, and they're delighted with it!

Eeeeee! She arrived jesterday, just in time cause i'm still here in munic.
She is beautiful. Thank you Rachel for this great whip. She flows like a waterfall

Robby and i tested it yesterday, we made a small video, i'll post it, when the upload finished.

Thank you, I’m so glad to see she arrived safely! I sure look forward to hearing that crack in the German air!

There it is.
I look like a builder... Robby and I were working in the garden when it arrived

What a beautiful whip, Rachel. Nadine and Robby, thank you for sharing this with us.

Rachel, it looks like it flows like buttah.

Thanks for sharing Nadine.

Nadine thank you!!! I will hopefully get a chance to watch inbetween runs here soon!!! So excited!!!

Wunderbar! Rachel, that's absolutely splendid! Lucky Nadine!

Nice!

Nadine and Robby, thank you so much! I will show this to Lonnie when I get home from work! Y’all make the whip look good!
It is a larger six strand twisted taper core with a single plaited belly. Minimal binding, too.
Thank you!

Thanks for sharing, it's such a wonderfull whip and it flows beautifully.

I have finally got Jyri's whip away in the post. Let us know when it arrives.

The whip from Mark has arrived! It looks great! I hope for more decent weather tomorrow, so I can test it properly out of doors, and take some photos here in its new home. I've just done a few underhand cracks in the house (the only crack I can do indoors with such a long whip) and my first impression is - Very Good!

Good, glad that I made the trip safely.

Mark, I've sent you an e-mail....

Robert, I have received it and replied. Thank you.

A short moment of sunshine, so here are some photos of Mark's cow whip 'Buckaroo':




The blue strands are more blue than these photos suggest - at least in the sun.




The handle fits beautifully in my palm:




If it stays dry, I'll test it this afternoon. At the moment, the ground is still exceedingl wet.

You have a very nice whip there Mr. Robert.
I look forward to reading your report.
